individuals or between individuals and other private entities. A non-exhaustive
list of private law subjects includes the law of contracts, torts, obligations,
family law, labor and employment law, antitrust or trusts and estates.

The Center for Law, Society, and Culture
(http://www.law.indiana.edu/centers/lawsociety/)
is sponsored by the Indiana University Maurer School of Law. The Center actively supports and
promotes multidisciplinary understanding of law and legal problems through scholarship, teaching, and
discussion. The Center is located in the School of Law on the Bloomington campus of Indiana University,
but produces, presents and coordinates research conducted by more than 70 scholars from schools and
departments across Indiana University. The Center's affiliated scholars hold appointments in
African-American studies, business, journalism, history, economics, English, criminal justice, law,
and gender studies, among others, and are dedicated to an interdisciplinary approach to the study of
the role of law in society and culture. The Center supports research related to the law in a broad sense,
including the cultural aspects of law expressed through political theory and scientific aspects of law
expressed through technological advances in biotechnology, environmental science and information technology.
